ARNIE: But you said right. BERNARD: I said left. ARNIE: Fine. BERNARD: So…left. ARNIE: I did left. BERNARD: My other left. ARNIE: What other left? You don’t have another left. BERNARD: Yes, I do. There’s my left and my other left. ARNIE: That’s your right. BERNARD: But my right is your left, so it’s my other left. ARNIE: (agreeing) Right. BERNARD: Wrong! ARNIE: What’s wrong?

You directly said your right is my left. BERNARD: But wouldn’t your left be my right? ARNIE: It’s the same thing. BERNARD: No, that can’t be right. ARNIE: I thought you said left! BERNARD: My other left! ARNIE: (agreeing) Right! BERNARD: Wrong!! ARNIE: (to himself) He left!
